Most people who talk a lot will fall in love with the teahouse. What's more, what Chengdu people say is not to say, nor to say, but to show off. Put, that is, the meaning of "spread out". The word "pendulum" was originally used for placement and display. For example, booths, seats, putting on airs, showing off, putting on airs and wearing rings are all necessary. Sima Xiangru and Yang Xiong are from Shu, and they are old hands at arranging details. Their work is called Fu. Although the style of Fu was later out of date, its spirit was inherited by Chengdu people and carried forward in the folk form of "Dragon Gate Array".
Longmen array is the "blessing" of Chengdu citizens. According to legend, it was named after Xue's array in the Tang Dynasty. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, folk artists from all over Sichuan have loved to tell Xue's story, which is as bizarre as the battle of Xue. Over time, "Dragon Gate Array" has become a proper noun, which is specially used to refer to those unpredictable, complex and tortuous, magnificent and interesting conversations.
Obviously, the Dragon Gate Array is different from ordinary places for chatting, chatting and bragging, because it, like Fu, should be expounded, compared, exaggerated and associated as much as possible. However, as a citizen's "blessing", it must be spicy, vivid and interesting, and it must emerge in an endless stream. Even if it is a trivial matter, it must be embellished and minced. Of course, such "works" are not easy to "publish" to passengers in taxis and other places. At least, you can't finish it in a short time; If you can't finish eating, you might as well not put it down. Anyway, you have to go to the teahouse to have a dragon gate array.
In fact, the charm of Chengdu Teahouse lies in the dragon gate array there. The reason why the Dragon Gate Array must be displayed in the teahouse is that only in the teahouse can the top experts have their own position and the listeners can really enjoy their ears. Teahouses are open day and night, and most people who drink tea are free, so time is not a problem. This is the "right time"; The teahouse has a relaxed environment, casual atmosphere and comfortable equipment. It can stand, sit and lie down, always serve tea and pour water, the pendulum is not tired, and there are many people listening. This is a "geographical advantage"; Most people who drink tea are "enthusiasts" with the same goals and interests. The show has a heart, the listener has a heart and the atmosphere is warm. This is called "getting along with people". The weather, location and people are all there, and the Longmen array is naturally victorious, and the more it is put, the more it is fired.
The contents of the Longmen array are varied: "There are both the old Longmen array full of secrets and anecdotes, and the new Longmen array close at hand from the top of modern times;" There are places with local feelings as thick as the land dragon gate array coming out of Ye Yan Bar, and there are also exotic dragon gate arrays full of coffee. There are serious and solemn dragon gate arrays, and there are also stories that are cheeky and funny with a little Huanglong gate array "(Lin Wenxun's Chengdu People). Needless to say, news and current affairs are naturally one of the important contents of Longmen array. Where do you know the news and current affairs? One is TV, and the other is a newspaper. Since news and current affairs are all concerned by Chengdu people, Chengdu's newspaper industry will surely flourish. Some people say that there are more than three in Chengdu: snack bars, fashion shops and stalls. This is not surprising at all. Chengdu people are delicious, so there are many snack bars; Chengdu people love beauty, so there are many fashion shops. As for the number of newsstands, because Chengdu people like to queue up, they need newspapers to provide information.
People in Chengdu really love reading newspapers. There are many street kiosks and newspaper columns in Chengdu, and there are also many newspapers in Chengdu. It is said that there are dozens of daily newspapers, weekly newspapers, evening newspapers and organ newspapers. People in Chengdu read newspapers and don't care about places. Time-honored newspapers all over the country also have their own readers and markets in Chengdu. Newspapers in Chengdu (including those in front of them) have no "localism" thought, and treat foreign newspapers and local newspapers equally, making Chengdu people addicted to newspaper reports. Therefore, every morning, newspaper columns are always packed by Chengdu people.
After reporting addiction, it should be a mouth addiction. Where is the most enjoyable place to put it on the dragon gate array? Teahouse, of course. Time is limited because it is placed in front of the newspaper column; In China, the audience is limited; Putting it in the unit will affect the work and it is a problem that cannot be enjoyed. It's better in the teahouse. Teahouse is the "China People's Political Consultative Conference" for Chengdu citizens, and everyone can participate in discussing state affairs and express their opinions. (Figure 39) After your opinion is published, a newspaper at hand can be used.
Cover your face and fall asleep. Anyway, the purpose of current affairs is to indulge in words, and the rest can't be that much. It can be said that Beijingers love to talk about news and current events to show their political talents, while Chengdu people love to talk about news and current events to make a long face.
So, why are Chengdu people so keen on the dragon gate array?
A simple explanation is naturally that Chengdu people love to talk. "Chongqing children are tough (Chongqing people dare to fight) and Chengdu girls are cunning (Chengdu people will quarrel)." Chengdu people are famous all over the country for their lip service and kung fu.
In Chengdu, there are only two kinds of people with the best mouth skills, one is a small vendor and the other is a female doll. There is a jargon in a small enterprise in Chengdu that "if you make money, you won't make money, but the stalls should be rounded up." How can a stall be "round"? Of course, it is by mouth shouting: "Consumption of medicine, consumption of medicine, consumption of children can not run away once they eat"; If you can afford it, you can plan it. If you don't buy it, you will take regret medicine. You can have children whether you buy them or not. If you accidentally step on her foot, she will say, "Hey, strange thing, are you three-legged?" Cows can survive, can't they? "If she stepped on your foot, there is another sentence:" What are you squeezing? Do I have to queue up to turn the wheels when I enter the crematorium? Melon is not embarrassed, can't go out? "Do you want to argue with her?
Indeed, Chengdu people seem to be born to talk, and they are born to "joke", "crack the shell" (brag) and "show off words". Among them, Zhanyanzi is the most distinctive. The so-called "exhibition" means saying a few proverbs, saying two two-part allegorical sayings, hiding the head and tail, letting you guess and think, and having fun with the news. For example, if things are a little mysterious, say "the toad eats the cowpea", which means "hanging"; And if you go out of line, he will comment: "Why do you yawn when you eat cornmeal", which means "open your mouth as wide as possible". This statement is really "monks knock on wooden fish"-a lot.
As a result, a simple thing, in the mouth of Chengdu people, will become lively and interesting. Even swearing is the same. For example, if someone has a low IQ or is thoughtless, Chengdu people say that he is a "melon" rather than a fool. In fact, this "melon" is not a melon, watermelon, pumpkin or gourd, but a "fool". Because we want to "show the word", we omit "stupid" and call it "melon". From here to there, there are "Guawazi", "Guaxi xi" and even "Guamei Guayan". Calling a person "stupid" is obviously more interesting and interesting than calling him "stupid" or "clumsy"
For another example, fraud is called "water" in Chengdu. Its origin, I think, has something to do with wine. Because selling wine has to be tampered with, which is nothing more than mixing water. Therefore, in daily life, the word "parallel imports" is often used to refer to fake and shoddy products. By extension, people in Chengdu will say that a person is "very successful" if he doesn't keep his word or doesn't do things in place. From this to that, there are sayings such as "water passenger", "hydraulic power", "water collapse" and "water vortex". For another example, if something is not done, it is called "yellow" or "yellow", and the same is true in other places. However, Chengdu people have developed into "Huang Qiang", "Huang Bang", "Huang Hunzi", "Huang Susu" and even "Master Huang", "Yellow Hands and Yellow Feet" and so on.
It seems that Chengdu people treat characters just like Guangdong people treat central policies, and pay attention to "using well, using flexibly and using enough". Chengdu people speak "in place" and are not even afraid of "going too far". For example, red, say "trip red"; Green, say "green"; White, say "Snow White"; Black, say "dark"; Sweet, say "fragrance"; Smelly, say "smelly". In short, you have to do enough articles to feel enjoyable.
What addiction have you had? Mouth addiction, of course. As a matter of fact, Chengdu people talk more about teasing than having something to say, which means "art for art's sake". As will be mentioned later, Chengdu people love to play. In Chengdu, when acquaintances meet, apart from "Have you eaten?", they will probably ask "Where did you play?". However, Chengdu people's "playing" or "playing" has another important feature, that is, it must be accompanied by "eating" and "speaking" at the same time. (Figure 40) No matter whether you go hiking or shopping in the garden, you must have delicious food, and you must also say that you will pass all the way.
Let's go When you get to the place or walk halfway, you have to soak in the teahouse. If you have nothing to say along the way, it can only be regarded as "catching up", not "playing". Not eating or drinking is tantamount to "hard work", let alone "playing". Therefore, no matter what luxurious and fresh occasions, if there is no tea to drink, no food to eat, no chat, Chengdu people will disdain. On the contrary, as long as you can make a splash, where you go is also considered as "playing". In fact, when it comes to "where to play", in Chengdu, it mostly refers to where to have tea and chat. In a word, speaking is an important part of Chengdu people's play, even playing directly. As Lin Wenxun said, Chengdu people speak "more as a joke, tossing words on their tongues to taste, appreciate and show." Just like an excellent player on the court, he bounced a ball with his toes and made thousands of moves "("Chengdu People ").
So, we generally know why Chengdu people love to talk, love to talk: fun!
Chengdu people really love talking and playing. For Chengdu people, the most pleasant thing is to drag a few bamboo chairs, set up a coffee table, invite three or five friends, one person, a cigarette, a cup of tea, the first three queens and five emperors, East Japan and West America, and chat around until the tea is white, and then go their separate ways. As for the content of the conversation, there has never been a certain rule. Say whatever you want, and whatever you meet. Just like Chengdu cuisine, you can put anything in the pot and anything in your mouth. Because the purpose of speaking is not to study and solve any problems, but to play. So, as long as you are happy and interesting, it will do.
Since it is fun, it must be fun, not like boiled water, it must be tasteful and famous; And if you play more, you will naturally be able to play tricks and play a level. People in Chengdu speak with special flavor: vivid images and distinct rhythms, with special emphasis on describing the state of things. For example, if something is thin, it is said to be "thin and flying"; Very rough, just say "rough rustling"; Very crisp, just say "crisp"; Very tender, just say "tender water". For example, if a person is a ghost, just say that he is a "ghost poke"; Stupid, just say "stupid"; Very fierce, just say "fierce fork fork"; It's soft, so it's called "soft collapse". As for stupidity, there are three kinds of sayings: "silly", "awkward" and "precious sieve". In short, the article is done.
Paying attention to the state will inevitably pay attention to the expression, and the most expressive eyebrow eye is of course a big fuss. Therefore, Chengdu people talk about eyebrows, such as: furtive (furtive), furtive (furtive), goofy (silly), hypocritical (hypocritical), ugly (sad), lazy (lazy), clumsy (timid), stingy, talkative and tasteless, which are called "eyes wide open" and "eyes wide open". Looking at these words, we can easily see that Chengdu people are very happy when they speak.
In a word, Chengdu people talk like drinking and eating vegetables. They pay attention to strength and taste. They are fiercer than mala Tang and sweeter than triple mud. Speaking of complaining, it can be said that the world is invincible, and quite a few people can reach the level of "national population". For example, the Cultural Revolution was widely circulated, satirizing the "jokes" that there were no movies to watch at that time: "China movies, news briefings; Vietnamese movies, aircraft cannons; Korean movies, dumbfounding; Romania, cuddling; Albania, inexplicable old film, selling tickets internally ",it is said that" copyright "belongs to Chengdu people. There is also a "joke" that satirizes public funds to eat and drink: "In the past, it was said that the revolution was not a treat, but now it is said that the revolution is either a treat or a meal." It is said that "copyright" also belongs to Chengdu people. Say it again in Chengdu if you don't believe me, and keep it unique.
Indeed, Chengdu people are very hurtful This is very much like Beijing people. However, the two places have different flavors. People in Chengdu will be "spicy" when they are hurt. For example, the duty team is called "Second Public Security" and some people who like to follow the fashion are called "amateur overseas Chinese". There is nothing wrong with being an overseas Chinese, but "amateur overseas Chinese" are suspected of being fake and shoddy. Chengdu people are frank and straightforward by nature (although they also want to be proud and vain), so they especially hate putting on airs. If a person pretends to be in front of Chengdu people, who know exactly who he is, he will say rudely, "Hey, chicken feet wear glasses and pretend to be foreign dishes!" " I don't know what magic chicken feet are, but they are no better than chicken feet, so I think the level is not high. Of course, it would be ridiculous if you really came to play. Therefore, there is often a sentence that follows: "I don't know if the osmanthus kitchen is clean."
Of course, Chengdu people will not only harm people. They will also lead people, praise them, encourage them, defend others, or speak for justice. For example, "if you eat wine but don't eat vegetables, everyone has his own interests" or "if you bully the small, you can't come down" or something. Anyway, no matter what you say, people in Chengdu are all the same. Moreover, these condoms can be constantly innovated, such as "You have Scud, I have Patriots, be careful to hit Saddam and drill a hole in the ground".
This is kung fu, which needs appreciation, and ventriloquism is no exception. People in Wulin want others to appreciate their martial arts, so they set up a challenge ring and hold a tournament meeting; Chengdu people want others to appreciate their ventriloquism, so they put up a dragon gate array, and the teahouse is the best occasion for them to show their ventriloquism, so the teahouse in Chengdu has been prosperous for a long time. Obviously, wearing a ring or putting on a dragon gate array is a display, a show-off, and an appreciation of one's lifestyle.
